User Manual m-CM100 — carbon monoxide detector Scope of supply • Carbon monoxide detector with electrochemical sensor • Holder incl. screws and wall plugs • 3 batteries type AA • Instructions This operating manual contains important information about the installation and operation of your carbon monoxide detector. Before you start to install the device please read the manual carefully and keep it handy for subsequent reference.
Spezifikationen Voltage: DC 4,5V (3xAA alkaline batteries) Sensortype: electrochemical Type of gas detected: carbon monoxide Sensor service life: 7 years Exposure action level: 50 ppm (between 60-90 min.) 100 ppm (between 10-40 min.) 300 ppm (within 3 min.) Operating temperature: 8°C 45°C Humidity: 0% 90% RH Beeper volume: ≥ 85dB at 1 minute intervals Battery life expectancy: minimum 1 year The exposure action level indicates the concentration of carbon monoxide and the reaction time of the detector in minutes. For example, if the device detects 100 ppm then the alarm sounds after 10 40 minutes. What is carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless and therefore deadly gas that is released when fuel is burned. It is toxic because it combines with haemoglobin and as a result impedes the transport of oxygen to the blood. In high concentrations carbon monoxide kills within just a few minutes. Every year, hundreds of people die of carbon monoxide poisoning. CO is released due to incomplete combustion e. g. of wood, charcoal, coal, fuel oil, kerosene, petrol, natural gas, propane and butane etc. Examples of carbon monoxide sources • Engine running in garage • Oil and gas burners • Wood-burning stoves

• Barbecues/grills • Wood and gas fires/fireplaces • Gas household appliances • Portable generators • Gas or oil heaters • Blocked chimneys/flues • Heating boilers Examples of CO levels and symptoms GB
The following symptoms may result from a specific CO level: 35 ppm 200 ppm 400 ppm 800 ppm 1600 ppm 6400 ppm
This is the maximum allowable concentration that adults can be exposed to during an 8-hour period Slight headache, tiredness, dizziness, nausea after 2-3 hours Frontal headache within 1-2 hours, life-threatening after 3 hours Dizziness, nausea and convulsions within 45 minutes, unconscious- ness within 2 hours, death within 3 hours Headache, dizziness and nausea within 20 minutes, death within 1h Headache, dizziness within 1-2 minutes, death in just a few min.
Position of CO detector
As carbon monoxide has a similar specific gravity to warm air, the CO detector should be installed at least 1,5m above the ground and 1,85m away from the household appliance it is monitoring.
detector
185cm away from the household appliance
150cm above the ground
Avoid the following areas
• Areas where the temperature may drop below -10°C or exceed 40°C • Damp areas or areas with high humidity • Any areas where larger amounts of dust, dirt or oily/greasy emissions can contaminate or clog the sensor • Behind curtains or furniture • In the path of air discharged from heaters, air conditioning vents or ceiling fans • Directly above sinks or cookers / Outdoors

Installation of CO detector This CO detector is battery-operated and does not need to be connected to an external power source. It can be fitted to the wall using the fixings provided or placed on a flat surface.
• Once you have determined the best position for the detector make sure that there are no power cables or pipes in this area. • Wireless systems are exposed to interference from cordless phones, microwave ovens and other electronic devices operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. Maintain a MINIMUM DISTANCE OF AT LEAST 3 METRES during installation and operation. 1. Mark the two mounting holes and then drill the marked locations.
GB
2. Put the wall plugs into the drill holes. 3. Screw in the holder (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN SCREWS). 4. Insert the three batteries firmly into the battery compartment of the detector.
➀ on the back
5. Mount the detector onto the holder(for your own safety, the detector cannot be closed unless there are batteries in it).
6. Test the device by pressing the test button ➄ on the front for 2 seconds and then releasing it. Four beeps signal that the device is operational and the red LED ➃ flashes.

Operating your CO detector Normal operation: As long as the device does not detect any carbon monoxide the green LED ➁ flashes about every 45 seconds to show that the detector is operational. Alarm signal:
If the device detects a dangerous level of carbon monoxide the alarm sounds and the red LED ➃ flashes. This continues until the dangerous CO level subsides. Only then does the alarm stop sounding and the detector reverts to standby mode.
Fault:
The yellow LED status display ➂ lights up if the unit is malfunctioning. This indicates a defect that may have been caused e. g. by dirt.

Low battery capacity In normal operation the battery will last at least a year. However, battery life may be reduced if the alarm has been sounding for a longer period of time or if a defect occurs in the battery. The device identifies in good time that the battery needs replacing. A simultaneous beep and flashing green LED ➁ provide a low battery warning for up to 7 days before battery capacity is exhausted. Replace the battery immediately if this happens. Battery replacement 1. Remove the detector from the holder.
➀. ➄ to discharge the remaining voltage.
2. Take the batteries out of the battery compartment

3. Press the test button
4. Insert the new, unused batteries (make sure polarity is correct). 5. Let the detector “warm up” for 2 minutes. 6. Test it using the test button
➄.
7. Put the detector back into the holder. What to do if the alarm sounds
• Move to the fresh air immediately. Go outdoors or open all windows and doors to ventilate the area until the carbon monoxide has dissipated. • In case of doubt evacuate the building. • If possible, switch off all types of fuel-burning appliances. • Do not enter the area again or move away from windows or door until the emergency services have arrived or the rooms have been aired and the detector has reverted to normal mode. • Get immediate medical help for anyone complaining of headache, confusion or nausea etc. • Do not use the relevant household appliances again until they have been in‑ spected by qualified service personnel and the malfunction has been eliminated. Maintenance
Installing a CO detector is the first step towards a safer living space. Make sure that you and all other members of the household are familiar with the use of the CO detector and how it works as well as with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Ensure that everyone knows how to operate the device: • Test the device once a month by pressing the test button ➄ on the front of it for 2 seconds.Four beeps signal that the unit is functional and the red LED ➃ flashes. • Replace dead batteries immediately. • Clean the device regularly, particularly the front grille area and the sides, to prevent accumulation of dust. You can use a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth to do this. DO NOT USE any cleaning products. • Do not paint the detector.
